I know I say it all the time but Owen is growing up soooo fast! Every last glimpse of my "baby" is gone. He is now 18 months old! At his 18 month doctor appointment he was 34 3/4 inches which is above the 95th percentile. He grew 2.5 inches in 3 months! He weighed 25 pounds which is in the 30th percentile. Needless to say he is quite a string bean!
He has started talking much more lately. He says Mommy, Daddy, hot, duck, no, cheese, puppy, hockey, Bobbie, eat, hi, up, Jack, boo boo, balloon (sounds like boop) and kitty. He says all these words very clearly. I think people that do not see him often would understand what he is saying. This is quite an improvement in his speech. I was pleased that his pediatrician says that an 18 month old is only expected to say 6 words plus mommy and daddy. Yeah! Owen can say more words than expected! He also has started repeating many of the things we say, but he does not say those words unless he is copying us.
Owen is an 18 month old with no fear! Jeff and I are sure he will break an arm or leg pretty soon. Jumping is one of his favorite things to do. He even tried to jump from the couch to the ottoman yesterday! No fear! Good thing we are there to catch him most of the time. I understand why he is so thin. He never stops running and jumping!
